Meeting Room

The Library has six different meeting rooms available for rent (see photos below). For information and reservations, please call Administration at 248-869-7204, Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, or email administration@novilibrary.org
 
To make a reservation, a completed, signed application must be submitted and approved. Download the application here.
 
Reservations for meeting rooms will be accepted up to two months in advance. Payment is due in full within two business days of application approval to confirm reservation. Room reservations are non-refundable. View the full Meeting Room Policy here.
 
The Library also offers 10 free study rooms which seat 2-6 guests and are available on a first come first served basis.

Cancellation Guidelines:

  1. If a renter needs to cancel their reservation, they should inform the Library as early in advance as possible. Except in cases of emergency, please give at least 24-hour advance notice of any cancellations. For last-minute cancellations, please call 248-349-0720 and ask to speak with a Manager.
  2. Rentals can be rescheduled, but must take place within 60 days of the original rental date. Funds will be held from the original date and applied to the rescheduled date. If the rental is not rescheduled within 60 days, the funds will no longer be available to use.
  3.  Failure to notify the Library of a cancellation prior to the rental start time will constitute a "no show", which cannot be rescheduled. Only in emergency cases may this be waived.
